PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
01

Company Profile

This specialty coffee chain is an independent, direct-to-consumer brand specializing in ethically sourced, premium roasted coffee beans and subscriptions, dedicated to quality and unique flavor profiles.

02

The Value Detection Challenge

With a focus on subscription LTV, this coffee chain found standard ad metrics (CPA for first order) didn't identify which new customers would convert to high-value, long-term subscribers.

03

Prior Ad Strategy

Relied on optimizing Google & Meta ads for initial purchase or website sign-up, leading to unpredictable LTV and difficulty scaling profitable customer acquisition.

04

Enter AdZeta

AdZeta implemented its Predictive AI to forecast LTV from initial interactions, enabling Value-Based Bidding focused on acquiring high-potential subscribers.

05

Strategic Implementation

Leveraged first-party data to train LTV models, then integrated predictive signals with Google (tROAS) and Meta (Value Optimization) campaigns. A/B tested against previous strategy.

06

Remarkable Results

Secured a 3.5x surge in high-value "VIP" customer acquisition and slashed CAC by 50% for these segments, all thanks to AdZeta's predictive LTV insights.

Understanding the Problem

The Challenge

01
Blind Spend Without Optimization

E-commerce brands spend millions on customer acquisition with no way to identify which customers will be profitable long-term. This leads to wasted ad spend on low-value customers and missed opportunities with high-value ones.

02
The LTV Gap

Conventional ROAS metrics are limited to early purchases, making it impossible to optimize for customers who will generate the most lifetime value.

03
A Wasted Data Opportunity

Even companies with robust data warehouses struggle to turn their data into actionable insights for smarter bidding strategies.
